For Fun: Rule 30 tiled floor

Shortly after attending NKS 2004, I was asked to move my classroom (9th grade physics) into a new room. They were going to redo the interior of the room and asked if there was any pattern I'd like the floor tiles to be in.
Of course, I saw this as golden opportunity to integrate NKS into the classroom (so to speak), so I quickly worked up a 'blueprint' of Rule 30 to match the dimensions of the room. They were willing to do this 'random' design, and they put down the tile yesterday.
Check it out -- I think it came out quite well!

That looks excellent!

Thanks! I think I'll make a poster that says "The Rules:" and has the rule graphic. A good little puzzle for them to figure out before I explain it later on. Fun!
